I got to know Tony as one of the great minds in economics
when studying Public Economics. That was before coming to the LSE. While
feeling terribly sad, I am also very grateful that I have had the opportunity
to really get to know Tony here. Not just for who he was professionally, but
also for who he was as a person. He was so incredibly kind and generous in his
enthusiasm and interest, for research and beyond. He has surprised and inspired
me with his modesty and ongoing commitment to research.
Almost apologetically knocking on my door to have lunch or
coffee? Of course, always!
Always making the trip to London – even after falling sick –
when I would invite him (as apologetically) to a presentation. Much
appreciated!
I will miss him dearly.
